I AGREE not to make any claims or demands, or commence, maintain or prosecute any action, cause or proceeding for damages, compensation, loss or any other relief whatsoever against Sears arising out of my employment with Sears or the termination of that employment. I further agree that this Settlement and Release Agreement shall operate conclusively as an estoppel and complete bar in the event of any such claim, action or proceeding, and may be plead as such, and that I will be liable to Sears for its costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in responding thereto. For clarity, I further agree that, as a condition of this Settlement and Release Agreement, I will take all necessary steps to ensure the withdrawal or dismissal of such claim or complaint.

I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE that I shall not make any claim or demand or take any action or proceeding in connection with any matter covered by this Settlement and Release Agreement against any other person or corporation who might claim contribution or indemnity from Sears by virtue of the said claim or proceeding.

proceeding is made by me, Sears may raise this document as an estoppel and complete bar to any such claim, demand, action or proceeding and that I will be liable to Sears for its costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in responding thereto.

AND FOR THE SAID CONSIDERATION, I hereby confirm that I have considered whether I have any possible claim against Sears in respect of the applicable Human Rights Code, and confirm that I either have no such claim or that this Settlement and Release Agreement expressly compensates me for any such claim and that I seek no further right or remedy in respect of any possible claim.
